- Three Stage Detonation -
- A complicated and powerful round, each ‘fallout’ is capable of not only penetrating light armor, but destroying whatever is behind it. Each round contains not only minitarized computer components capable of precise timing, but an initial 'bunker buster' style shaped charge to help penetrate armor without damaging the sensitive components inside. This begins when the bullet is fired, and continues through every stage of its life.
Weaknesses:
- Jaeger Exclusive -
- Without a Jaeger weapon with proper technology there is very little in options other can utilize the 'Salt' rounds with. While the power is still very capable, without something like “The Vora” to utilize it, there isn’t much one could do, creating a very significant drop in accuracy otherwise. Due to a limited amount of Jaeger Products that utilize this technology, this makes the rounds relatively situational unless already deep within Jaeger's capitalist control.
- EMP Sensitive -
- Should the rounds be exposed to high levels of electricity, a radiant ion blast, or any such anti electrical system, each would be made completely negated in activation. This means not only those in flight, but those on reserves and back up as well, should they not be stored in a proper faraday caged magazine or backup hold.
- Hard Headed -
- While the initial shaped charge helps bust through light forms of armor, the round itself does not carry enough weight nor power to break through heavier set plates. This makes a glaring weakness in the fact that armored personnel, lightly armored vehicles, and more all have the capacity to ignore much of the damage this would be able to do compared to if penetration was involved.
DESCRIPTION
Jaeger Solutions continues pushing forward the limits of war based technologies, and in this they seek another continued expansion. This day, they seek to ruin what biological material exists behind the armor, and to do this they miniaturized another product they have had resounding success with. The HVC-369 was a cannon capable of untold destruction, and helped to revolutionize fleet to fleet engagements, and so this same train of thought was applied on a far smaller scale with equally large results.
Insert the “Salt”, a round that acts like a self contained tomb world with each expulsion of the barrel. Although lacking the massive megaton load a more traditional bomb may have, this round focuses more on the resulting rain rather than the initial blast. Each contains a mixture of cobalt around a very small radiation bomb; created what is generally considered a ‘Salted’ round; with a half life of nearly five and a half years. This creates a very grueling task of cleanup, and more importantly a highly localized radiation zone in whatever the target is. Most notably, this is extremely effective against lightly armored biological enemies, but is capable of disrupting sensitive processing amongst synthetics as well.
This rounds works in three stages, each of which will be explained in a summarized fashion. The first is the initial firing, a mixture of computerized calculations and flechette styled rounds sending forth an unruly payload. Once closer, the same laser system will test the distance to the target, taking instant choices on if the initial shaped charge would be sufficient to push through or not. Once determined, and the charge either goes off or doesn't, the round itself seek to shred through whatever is beneath and end up within the target within short order.
Once inside, the second stage begins; once inside either a biological subject, or inside an unarmored vehicle, the rounds second charge will begin. This is entirely an internal explosion, and contained with the strict purpose of creating the fallout. Cobalt is altered from its traditional state into a separate isotope, one capable of lasting for far longer than more traditional radiation forms. This customized behavior gives it the nickname of ‘Salted’, and able to decimate most biological materials with ease. Once proper levels of the isotope are detected, the third stage is ignited to spread it.
The third stage is what the round is known for, an area-of-effect expulsion throws all the material pent up within the round in a one meter radius should it be unhindered by bodily organs or solid matieral. Inside of a target, this can open up a small cavity and spread the radioactive material inside them with little hesitance. The process is brutal, and the lasting effects are equally destructive; but any who are on the receiving end of the round realize why it shouldn't be used.
In our trying times, Jaeger Solutions abandons short term morality for what should be always the end result. ‘Total War’, a strategy which involves destroying and maiming every sense of security an enemy holds. Instead of a simply blaster round, or bullet shredding muscle, this will not only leave a small cavity in them but a radioactive process leftover that is difficult to clean and treat; leaving most traditional fighters out of commission for years to come. To end the conflict quickly is to save lives, and Jaeger Solutions seeks to do just this.
There is no equal.
